Warning:Mention of loss

Vassicus's backstory and his arc:

He remembered when the ground of Caliban shook as the ground artillery fired on the fleet above the atmosphere.

He was there. He fought his brothers in the world of Caliban as the ground cracked and was obliterated. He tumbled through the warp with many of his brothers, lost to time and space.

He did not know if his time in the warp had made him a changed man. When he came out, spat out of the warp many things were different. Too different for his liking.

There was an impermeable air of hopelessness and despair he could practically smell as he walked among the common populace of the Imperium.

It made him wonder what did humanity cling onto during the waning years of the great war and how did they survive all this time?

He has tried to look through Imperial Archives to catch up on the history he has missed but found them lacking, strange or altered in one fashion or another.

He survived the best he could on his own before the Lion, older and reborn, found him and gave him new purpose.

Upon his discovery, he reunited with an old friend of his. Both of them were to go through the Rubicon Primaris together, to be forged anew, stronger and more resilient then they had been during the Horus Heresy.

He was the only one to survive.

Now, haunted by the recent loss of his friend, he struggles to keep his head above the sea of sorrow as he fights once more under the Lion's name.

There was no strength to be found in the waters of loss or pain. He was no stronger for losing his better half, despite what his Chaplain might have told him.

Maybe a new perspective, a friendship with another astartes who shared his sorrow, could give him the strength to move on.

dunno what to call this

what can I say I really like my dark angel companion minis
